WARREN — Local judges David Engler and Mark Hanni decided something needed to be done locally to remember and celebrate the life of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, who was assassinated Sept. 10 at a rally at Utah Valley University.
They organized an event Sunday afternoon at the Warren Community Amphitheatre, during which a livestream of Kirk’s memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, was shown. Approximately 100,000 people attended the national service.
Locally, the Chris Higbee Band performed, and there were prayers and speakers.
“This is our local tribute to Charlie and then a celebration of his life. David Engler came up with the idea for the local event and I said I would help him do it,” Hanni said.
